Dear Parents,
This
is a BIG DAY in our ministry.
I
am starting our online parenting class in this email. I hope that you will find
this experience extremely helpful and informative.
Today
we are going to begin by talking about your will….
Do
you have a will? You know, the paper that they pull out when you die to see who
gets your stuff.
The
process of preparing a will is not fun. The lawyer asks you, “If you die who
will you give your stuff to?” You say, “Give it to my spouse.” The lawyer quickly
responds, “and if your spouse dies who will you give your stuff to?”
This
goes on and on until it seems like everyone is dead and you are so frustrated
you consider telling the lawyer that they can have it!
When
you write a will you figure out how you are going to leave your stuff, but what
about the stuff that matters most?
What
values are you going to leave your teenager?
What
will you teach them about what is right and wrong in this world?
What
will your teenager know about faith?
Our
student ministry wants to help you leave a rich inheritance to your teenager of
the stuff that really matters.
That
is why we want to introduce you to the Rites of Passage Experience. We are
going to help you have the conversations with your teenager that matter the most.
We
are going to give you the tools to infuse faith into the most import moments in
life.
Here
are the 7 Rites of Passage we are going to encourage you to lead your teenager
through:
·
6th Grade – Preparation for Adolescence
·
7th Grade – Blessing Ceremony
·
8th Grade – Purity Weekend
·
9th Grade – Driving Contract
·
10th Grade – Money Matters
·

I
want to finish today’s class by asking you to watch this 3 minute video. It
explains the Rites of Passage Experience we are launching as the foundation of
our Parent Ministry.
